well, first of all i really think that this text is easy to understand (ok not every little detail but its rough idea)-. jimmy was not in the band then so he did not sign anything. he was a member and is. if he is to claim anything, that would be from 1988- 1997 and from 2005 up to now. as far as adore stuff is concerned i suppose he cannot claim anything. he didn’t have to do anything with this material (eventhough he perfoms it live-that’s a question). the same goes for james and d’arcy from 2005 up to now (it is quite clear why).
now one thing that has been straighten out is that james and d’arcy do not accuse corgan of anything (that’s good). the question that raises is what is going to happen with the pre-gish release, as stated in smashingpumpkins.com and what is going to happen with all the original member and their claimings as far as royalties on this particular release is concerned.
one more question is wether the pumpkins (in this case i suppose corgan) have the full royalties on their stuff. i hope they do because companies are sh@@@y with that kind of things (actually they act as pimps-excuse me for my expression -that’s why royalties and rights are crap)
finally, i could not understand wether smashingpumpkins.com (that is corgan’s and jimmy’s \"voice\" on the net) is positive, negative or mediocre as far as this action is concerned.
anyways, it is interesting to see what it’s going to happen…(and i hope for some new d’arcy photos-ok i know i’m stupid…lol)ps
i still believe that this catcake pic is eerie….well..it was about time for d’arcy to show up!!it’s been like 9 years or something….i still wonder though …if J and D act like that on such a matter (i suppose that they don’t do it because they didn’t get enough, like billy) what will they do when the gish thing will come up?probably they will sue billy’s @@s off and the thing will get really ugly!!! or not…i hope.amyways, i would really like to know what you think about that!!!
ps
the photo is eerie!!!!but it’s cool!! lolsoooo,
to clear things out, i talked with that friend of mine and she told me that when she was searching ebay she came upon some auctions that sold the second press of TAFH. so NO bootleg this one!hey arthur,
as far as the mcatis is concerned i read the article (but not very carefully to be honest), as far as the indexing and numbering is concerned i couldn’t tell any real difference besides all the things i fore mentioned (i will read once again the article though).i have this nick for quite some years now… i thought who are my \"heroes\", billy and d’arcy. billy is weird in a good way and d’arcy has this \"icy\" thing that i like. sooo..billy_wretzky is thy name.lol
as far as the TAFH is concerned i had made this conversation with that friend of mine, who has spend many hours in front of ebay and i remember that she was troubled whether the boxsets she had found were the authentic or reprints (i doubt these are boots since it is way to difficult to reproduce such a box). anyway, i wiil ask her again and tell her to take some pics of the box she bought (because she bought one) and check it out! (but this will take a long time).
what i am saying here SHOULD not be taken for granted. if we want to clear this out we can do it collectively and after gathering any info we could reach to a coclusion. right?
as soon as i have any more info i will update.
hi there,
this is my first post here!!!
anyways,
i bought the fake one from a store in athens…i read about the matrix number (and saw the relevant topic on the authentic MCATIS) and decided to compare the two editions. i really couldn’t find any difference on the numbers, codes or whatever else… surrely the printing is horrible, the box can’t close and is not as glossy as the authentic one, and the booklet looks like a photocopy (paper is whiter than the original). bought it for 37 euros because i thought it was an official reprint but when i saw the discs i understoood that this couldn’t be an official not limited reprint.
ps
i think the same thing happens with TAFH boxset! a friend of mine was searching ebay to buy it and found some auctions that probably were not authentic.
